APC Replaces Gov Uzodimma With Ex-Gov Masari as Convention Committee Chairman
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has replaced Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, with former Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, as Chairman of the party’s National Convention Central Coordination Committee ahead of its March 27-28, 2026 convention.
The announcement was made in a statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, and posted on the party’s official X page on Friday.
“In further consultation with the leadership and national stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Central Coordination Committee for the 2020 National Convention has been reconstituted. Sub-committees of the Central Coordination Committee will be constituted and announced in due course,” the statement read.
Uzodimma, who was initially named chairman, has now been reassigned as treasurer following the fresh reconstitution approved by the party leadership.
The committee’s membership was also expanded from 73 to 90, with the inclusion of additional senior party figures, including Senator Barry Mpigi.
Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim was named Vice Chairman I, while Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, will serve as Vice Chairman II. Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, retained his position as Secretary of the committee.
The changes come just days after Uzodimma was unveiled as chairman, signalling renewed momentum in the party’s preparations for the convention, which will culminate in the election of new members of the National Working Committee.
